Hi,<br />
<br />
I am in the process of installing a group of virtual servers (Microsoft Virtual Server). &nbsp;I have a blade server with up to 10 blades and a EMC SAN. &nbsp;Each blade server has access to dual NICs, where one will be used for an HBA. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Each blade will be running Microsoft Server 2003 Enterprise with IScsi, and EMC Configuration Utility, IIS, and Microsoft Virtual Server R2 Enterprise.<br />
<br />
The goal of the installation is to be able to run any of the Virtual servers (images) from any of the blades, shouild one of the blades go bad.<br />
<br />
I understand that a shared disk is a quorum, but I haven't figured out how to install the cluster so that all servers have access to the shared disk. &nbsp;Are there any ariticles &nbsp;that talk about this scenario, or can someone provide some advice on how I can achieve the configuration that I am looking to do?<br />
<br />
I would appreciate any help that I can get.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Hi,

I am in the process of installing a group of virtual servers (Microsoft Virtual Server).  I have a blade server with up to 10 blades and a EMC SAN.  Each blade server has access to dual NICs, where one will be used for an HBA.  

Each blade will be running Microsoft Server 2003 Enterprise with IScsi, and EMC Configuration Utility, IIS, and Microsoft Virtual Server R2 Enterprise.

The goal of the installation is to be able to run any of the Virtual servers (images) from any of the blades, shouild one of the blades go bad.

I understand that a shared disk is a quorum, but I haven't figured out how to install the cluster so that all servers have access to the shared disk.  Are there any ariticles  that talk about this scenario, or can someone provide some advice on how I can achieve the configuration that I am looking to do?

How do I configure 5 servers that are running MS Virtual Server to share a SAN (iscsi) to hold the Virtual Server Images.

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
